Subject: Official Information request - MoH and YouTube misinformation on
Covid 19
 
Dear Ministry of Health,
I refer you to
[6]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

In this previous OIA, is an agreement with YouTube that says:
On Maps, our policies prohibit misinformation about prevention,
transmission and treatment services, as well as allegations that an
individual contracted COVID-19 at a particular location. These types of
contributed content will be removed.

Misinformation Definition
————————————
Would you please share the criteria, definitions, keywords, meta data
tags, handbooks and any manuals on this “misinformation” which is for the
disease’s prevention and treatment services.

I am requesting all the information on how MoH and YouTube determined
whether prevention and treatment that google had purview of was deemed
“misinformation”.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
